Exchange Rates

We offer an exchange rates endpoint which provides the current Wyre brokering rate. This is approximately the exchange rate that will be used for any relatively small exchange through our platform (larger exchanges may give different rates depending on market depth). It is a good way to track the Wyre exchange rates over time.

The ordering of the trading pair in the key represents the direction of an exchange. For example, BTCUSD is the rate used for BTC into USD conversions (e.g. the sell rate). On the other hand, converting USD into BTC (the buy rate) would use the opposite rate under USDBTC.

Different Views of the Exchange Rate

You can also view the rates in different formats according to your preference:

https://api.sendwyre.com/v2/rates?as=divisor - source amount / rate = destination amount (default)

https://api.sendwyre.com/v2/rates?as=multiplier - source amount * rate = destination amount

https://api.sendwyre.com/v2/rates?as=priced&pretty&format=json_numberstring - shows both divisor and multiplier values

https://api.sendwyre.com/v2/rates?as=priced&pretty&format=csv - downloads rates as CSV file

For example, if 1 BTC is selling at 9000 USD, USDBTC will be 9000 in the divisor view and (1/9000) in the pretty view.

Rate Format

DIVISOR (default)	Exchange rate as a single number: starting total / rate = result total
MULTIPLIER	Exchange rate as a single number: starting total * rate = result total
PRICED	Exchange rate as multiplier and divisor, keyed on exchange rate units ("price in").
